Learning outcomes

Because organic chemistry is a cumulative subject, organic chemistry II is the second part of a sequence designed to give students a more in-depth look at the fundamentals of synthesis, including mechanisms of organic reactions, retrosynthesis, organic synthesis and functional group manipulation.

Course contents

1.      A short recall on Amines and aza-derivatives

2.      Understanding Organic Reactions using Electron-Pushing or Arrow-Pushing

3.      Structure and reactivity of alfa,beta-unsatured compound

4.      Aldol reactions and enolate anions, including enol and enolate equivalents (enamines, silyl enol ethers , ecc )

5.      Retrosynthetic analysis and protecting groups

6.      Oxidation and Reduction Reactions

7.      Heterocyclic compounds

8.      Sulfur, phosphorus, boron, silicon, in organic synthesis

9.      Radical reactions

10.    Aminoacids
